Season 1 Episode 6 - Expert Talk with Prof. Dr. Tjark Siefkes, Head of Institute Vehicle Concepts, German Aerospace Center DLR
Rail transport is a key means of achieving the European Green Deal. To master this role, it will undergo a transformation that will lead to the following setting in 20 to 30 years: The acceptance and attractiveness of the rail system is very high, and both decarbonization and increased energy efficiency across the value chain per passenger- or tonne-kilometer have been achieved on a large scale. Prof. Dr. Siefkes from the German Aerospace Center explains how exactly this will work and why the Batmobile is not an alternative for the transformation of mobility. Furthermore, InnoTrans Director Kerstin Schulz presents the concept of the Hackathon Hacktrain and the results achieved at the previous InnoTrans.
